| I was using Oktava's until lately one of them starting not working very reliably (i hope i can get it fixed somehow) so the other day I put up my ADK Vienna edition mics and I feel it was a big improvement. It much closer to the sound I was looking for and I had to use EQ much less than with the Oktava's. I felt the Oktava's always needed some lifting above 10K to give me the crisp cymbals i was looking for. They didn't come with a graph so I have no clue what their eq curve is supposed to look like, but there was always a falloff after 10K when i recorded anything with them. The ADKs, on the other hand, are going to be my go-to overhead mics for a while until I find a need for a change. I'm definitely excited to hear the Hamburg editions though in the near future. |
